Today, on almost every front page of a newspaper, from small towns in Arkansas to the biggest cities in the nation, same-sex couples are featured prominently, and headlines report that the United States Supreme Court has struck down bans on marriage between same-sex couples.

Friday, March 6, the Obama Administration and the Department of Justice submitted an amicus brief to the United States Supreme Court urging the Justices to rule in favor of the freedom to marry this summer.

Last night, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals accepted Nebraska's request for a stay in a federal judge's ruling in favor of the freedom to marry, further delaying the rights and protections of marriage for loving, committed same-sex couples.

Monday, March 2, Congressman Brad Ashford cheered on the federal ruling from yesterday that affirmed the freedom to marry in Nebraska and struck down the state's ban on marriage between same-sex couples.

Freedom to Marry was the campaign to win marriage nationwide. With the Supreme Court victory on June 26, 2015, the work of this strategic campaign – though not the larger movement – was achieved, and Freedom to Marry wound down its operations, closing in early 2016.
